ArsenalÂ’s manager Arsene Wenger has tipped Germany to beat Spain in SundayÂ’s Euro 2008 final in Vienna.
In an interview with reporters on Tuesday he said that Germany had the mental toughness that no other team at Euro 2008 had.
He added that Germany also had the most consistent player in the tournament, ChelseaÂ’s midfielder Michael Ballack of Chelsea.
He went on to say that Ballack was the main source of inspiration to the team and along with Lukas Podolski who was having an unbelievable tournament, these two formed a formidable partnership and difficult for other teams to overcome.
Wenger also rated RussiaÂ’s twenty seven year old Andrei Arshavin a great prospect after having lifted the Russian side afte…
Barcelona were stung last year when Real Madrid took back the Liga crown and became the first team to win back-to-back Champions Leagues in the modern era.
Well, order has been restored from a Camp Nou perspective in 2017-18. Barca have regained LaLiga, the 25th league championship success in their history, and they have done so without losing a match.
Although the campaign is not yet at an end, their invincible run is still a remarkable achievement. Arsenal managed it in the Premier League in 2003-04, but you have to go back to the great Athletic Bilbao side of 1929-30 for the last time the feat was accomplished in Spain s top flight.
With Madrid imploding domestically, it has rather felt like a procession for Ernesto Valverde s side, but there have nonethele…
Uruguay face Colombia in the Copa America quarter-finals in Brasilia on Saturday buoyed by recent form that could see them challenge for the trophy again.
La Celeste are the most successful side in the competition s history with 15 wins but their last came 10 years ago when they beat Paraguay in the final in Buenos Aires.
Their 2021 campaign began inauspiciously with defeat to Argentina and a draw with Chile, but consecutive wins over Bolivia and Paraguay secured their place in the quarter-finals.
They may only have scored once through Edinson Cavani s first-half penalty, but Oscar Tabarez s men fired in 18 shots in their previous game and 22 in the win over Bolivia. Those are the most they have attempted against South American sides in this competition since the…

Super Bowl 58 is the Kansas City Chiefs’ fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years, but this is the first time where their defense has carried them here.
While Patrick Mahomes and the offense have gotten most of the credit in the past, the Chiefs have been better on the defensive side of the ball this season, and Chris Jones is the anchor of this stop unit.
That said, being the biggest name on this K.C. defense also means that we’re seeing some inflated Super Bowl player props when it comes to the latest Chris Jones odds. That means I’ll be looking to fade the star defensive tackle in the Super Bowl odds.
Find out why with my best NFL picks for Jones at Super Bowl 58 on February 11.

Patrick Mahomes has taken the NFL by storm since first taking the field as a starter in 2018, a historic MVP-winning campaign that saw him throw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns.
Now in his eighth season, he’s helped bring the Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl four times, including victories against the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV and Super Bowl LVIII and versus the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
His presence — in combination with stud pass-catchers like Travis Kelce — has also made the Chiefs one of the league’s most dangerous offenses year after year.
Let’s dive into Patrick Mahomes’ accomplished career and see where he stacks up against each and every NFL team, both in the regular season and postseason.
